We all know that Windows Spotlight feature displays beautiful wallpapers on your lock screen and changes with new wallpaper everyday. If you’re on Windows 10 Version 1511 or later, you can enable this feature from Settings app > Personalization > Lock Screen.

When you see Windows Spotlight wallpaper on lock screen and hover cursor over this wallpaper, you’ll spot ‘Like what you see‘ option. Clicking this option provides you the pathway to receive similar kind of wallpaper or deny, if you don’t like the wallpaper. In case if ‘Like what you see’ option is missing for you, here is how to restore it back.

FIX: ‘Like What You See’ Missing For Windows Spotlight

FIX 1 – Via Lock Screen Options

1. Right click Start Button or press W8K + X keys and select Settings.

2. In the Settings app, navigate to Personalization > Lock screen.

FIX 2 – Via Registry

It is strongly recommended that you create a System Restore point first before editing registry.

1. Press W8K + R and put regedit in Run dialog box to open Registry Editor (if you’re not familiar with Registry Editor, then click here). Click OK.

3. In the right pane of Creative registry key, double click on LockImageFlags registry DWORD (REG_DWORD) to modify its Value data.

4. Now change the Value data from 1 to 0 and click OK. Close Registry Editor and reboot.

After restarting your system, the issue must be resolved.
